I just ran across the International Lawnsteel Shooters Association. The word needs to spread. Shooting accurate handguns from lawn chairs in good-natured competition with "congenial associates" sounds pretty good to me!

Looks like fun Bill. I still recall how to drop, roll, fix sling,+ fire prone, as well as the other positions but sometimes 'fun shooting is in order'.As I commented on the "Fun Shooting" forum,we would take down shotgun hulls stacked vertically one at a time while standing on one foot while patting yourself on the head with your off hand. Of course, beer was involved but in hindsight, it was a very good exercise in marksmanship in diverse circumstanses.May be BS but it helped everyone to be a better shot.


Never mistake motion for action.

An addendum to my last post. about 45 years ago we used to have turkey shoots sponsored by the local F.D.I loved the event + the camaraderie. One old gent showed up with his M1 Garand, dropped to the deck, assumed the sling + fired off 3 rounds; got up, took his turkey + went home.I like to pride myself as a good shot (don't we all?)but these old gents from "The Great Generation" need to be remembered + respected.

Bill, as I posted once before back in college days (in the dark ages) we were poor. At home (apt.) pleasure shooting involved priming a case then stuff the neck into paraffin ala cookie cutter then put a bit of honey on a copy of Moby Dick, sit across the room + shoot flies when they landed.

I don’t get it. Getting out those chairs might be s lot of work. Plus they need to shoot rifles - preferably blasers Big Grin
